She is a great teacher but you have to understand that anatomy is very hard! She will help all she can. She has pp's, notes & assigns things to help you learn! Always take quizzes & labs. This is NOT a class to sleep thru. She is very hard but also very helpful!

Ellen is great she keeps you very busy in class! Anatomy is hard but she makes it interactive and keeps it interesting. All ppt's are online and lectures even for reg. classes, along with detailed reviews! She also gives daily classwork and lab work and quizzes over each chapter, all helps keep your grade up.

A&P 1. She is a great teacher but tough. But thats how science classes are nowadays because the medical field is so competitive. She is very helpful. Go to lab reviews. Overall a good teacher. Study hard!

She is a very nice person and will help you if you need it, the class itself is pretty hard the practicals are not that bad but make sure you study hard for the exam. If you are looking for a easy class to get a good grade this isnt it you have to work for it.

Prof. Ott-Reeves, provides a plethora of opportunities to excel in the course. If you have a question, labs are the best time to ask. The workload is comparable to what is necessary to achieve an A in the course. I learned alot and found her to be very helpful. Do the LearnSmart and study the "What you Should Know" and you will get a good grade.

Not that great of a prof. Her lectures are extremely boring and she talks WAY too fast to actually comprehend her lectures. She assigns too much online homework&I would highly recommend doing it ahead of time. All of the test questions come from the online homework. As long as you do the online homework and quizzes, an A is possible in the class.

in her lectures all she does is read straight from the power points. her tests are from the book, and hard. the only thing helpful about this class is that she sets it up to were your daily work counts just as much as your practices. so much online homework!! this class will take time away from your other classes. i recommend dropping if have

If you are going into the medical field, I strongly recommend you take her! she reads off of the powerpoints mostly & gives you a lot of outside online homework to do, but it is very beneficial! i suggest you look through the powerpoint lessons prior to class. just work the learnsmart she gives you access to & you should do fine! I made a A overall

The amount of information in A&P is what makes it difficult. The homework is NOT that long, and if you're paying attention to the questions they help in studying for the tests. I recommend doing the homeworks before class so you already know what she's talking about.

I think Professor Ott-Reeves is an excellent professor! I have an A in anatomy in the blended course, thanks to the homework she assigns. Not only is it helpful, but it can definitely bump up your grade which is worth it in the end. Also it prepares you for the exams. In lab, she is very helpful and seems like a very nice lady. Recommend!

Ott-Reeves is a very good anatomy teacher. She teaches fast and is very thorough with the material. In lab, she is sure to make certain that you understand what you are looking at. I would highly recommend her for A&P. Do all the work assigned and you'll be fine, esp the online stuff - easy daily grades that raise your final grade.

Awesome professor! Very helpful, and online class IS ORGANIZED. As long as you study and read the book come to lab days, and do your part to make a good grade, you will get a good grade and she will help you out in any way she can :)

LOVE Ellen Ott-Reeves!!! She is an AWESOME professor and person!! Yes, the material is hard and requires ALOT of memorizing…however, she is VERY helpful!!! I have taken her for A&P 1 &2 and only wished that she taught microbiology cause I would take her again!! :)

Mrs. Ott-Reeves will help you in any way she can. She talks 100 MPH but as long as you are following along, it all makes sense. She gives daily open book quizzes and lots of homework that WILL BOOST YOUR GRADE if you do it all! Some people in my class failed most tests and passed b/c they did the homework. PS: I never used my book! Made an A!!

A&P is a tough subject. Do the homework. DO THE LEARNSMART FLASHCARDS. She talks fast but knows her subject.

She seriously knows her stuff but goes wayyyy to fast! If you zone out for 30 seconds she'll probably be 10 slides ahead already. Honestly there is A LOT of homework but in the end it does really help your grade! She's a nice lady but be prepared to work for your grade big time. Key: Do the all the online stuff especially LearnSmart!

We were supposed to meet on Fridays but we only meet 4x in the semester. Online HW are 80+ questions on each Ch. They take a while to do even if you know your stuff. It is obviously a difficult time consuming class but bc we only meet 4x it made it 10x more difficult. Extra credit takes at least2-4hrs& you have to do all Chs for 3%extra credit.

Knows her stuff. Excellent instructor. I highly recommend. Explains why it is important to understand material.

Great teacher! Took class onlinelab in person over the summer. A lot of assignments but helped to boost grade. Extra credit will help boost final grade. If you do the workstudy it isn't hard to get an A. She was very helpful in labanswering questions. I would take her again!

Ms. Reeves is a great teacher, she knows anatomy very well and is always willing to help the student any way she can. I took the blended class and it was not easy. You must be very disciplined in studying to get an A. I studied and did homework 25-30 hours a week and barely made an A. Do the extra credit, all the homework, and lab reviews!

Ellen is one of the best professors that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The class material is difficult( of course it is! Its a 4 hour class!) she did a wonderful job of making sure that the students had the tools to complete the course. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER CLASS!!! If you want to start at go, then take Biol 1406. Study and pass.

She is one of the nicest profs Ive had I would definitely take her again. The test were a bit hard and detailed but if you do your homework and read the chapters before the test you will pass. The homework will take hours so be prepared.

I took her a&p1 blended course. There is a lot of homework, at least 150+ a chapter (I was 12 online though) but it REALLY boost your grade. Her test are very tedious & pull from the homework, reading questions, and the bonus. There is always a short answer on her test that come from discussion boards. She is a very good teacher, just do the work!

This class was the most difficult class I have ever taken, but boy did I feel like I really earned my A. Ms. Ellen is an incredible instructor who really does prepare you for nursing school; her exams are intensive and specific, and really quizzes you on whether you know the material or not. Your grade will reflect the amount of work you put in.

Mrs. Ott-Reeves is professional instructor I had so far. She explains each topic clearly with examples. During the lecture, she gives questions that you need to write the answer and submit as a classwork which is the best way to remember the topic. She gives five extra points at the end of the semester if you complete Connect bonus.

It's just a hard class in general but she is a fair grader and does a good job of covering the material you need to know. She also offers multiple extra credit opportunities but doesn't curve at all.

Ellen was a wonderful prof. I took her four week course for A&P I and while it was A LOT of work, she made the class more enjoyable. There were HOURS of online homework due before each test, but its a grade booster. She also offered 5 bonus points on our overall grade if we completed additional assignments.

Took A&P 1 over 10 week summer and it was HARD. Tons of reading, homework and studying and you will definitely work for your grade. 4 lecture/lab exams with one practice final to replace lowest test score and if you do all bonuses (about 12 hours of work) she'll add 5% to final grade. DO THE BONUS CONNECT! and study a little every day- don't cram!

Contrary to other reviews, I really enjoyed having Ms. Reeves. Yes the test reviews are 12+ pages, yes there is online homework due biweekly, yes there is a grade taken in every lecture and lab, yes powerpoint slides were 60+ slides, and yes lectures were boring, but COME ON PEOPLE it's a lot of information, you have to work for the good grade

Ms. Ott-Reeves is a great teacher. She has to speak very quickly through her lectures to cover the material (1 chapter per lecture). However, she takes the time to pause throughout to give everyone a classwork question from the current PP slide that helps you learn the material and gives you easy points. Order the study book - it was a big help!

She is a great professor. Study hard, but she is more than willing to break down any concept hard of understanding. Read each chapter, it helps. It is a lot of work, but its manageable to get by. The extra credit helps tremendously, which is an extra set of homework for each chapter- all of which you can find online.

Ellen is honestly the best professor I have ever had. She is very helpful if you don't understand something and is super sweet. She gives reviews for each chapter that are about 150 questions, but if you read the book and answer the questions while you read, it really helps to understand the material. Bio is a tough so study hard to make an A.

Reeves tends to g very quick during lecture and only teaches off powerpoints, however if at anytime you have a question she will stop to answer and explain it. Biology is a tough class so if you think listening in class is enough you're wrong read the book!!!!! She is very hands on during lab!

I had this professor for 1406 & 1407. If you pay attention in lecture and do your online homework outside of class I think you're guaranteed to get at least a B. She also adds extra points at the end of the semester which helps you out a lot. I really enjoyed her class and would take her again, she is very enthusiastic and makes bio more bearable!

Ellen's energy is a 10/10, and her outfits are always related to her lectures somehow and its adorable! Not going to lie you need to study a LOT outside of class bc there is a lot of material and only reading the ppts will not help. However, I would recommend her because she goes over the labs with you and explains things in a simple way

Ellen is a great choice, but honestly not the easiest biology teacher. The material to me was dry at times and her lecture style doesnt make it too much better. She is the nicest college teacher Ive EVER had though! She even brought us food and lays on the day before SB! Shes so caring and loves her subject, just look out for tricky exams

She is such a sweet professor and she truly loves the class but be prepared to have lots of weekly homework. This biology class wasn't necessarily hard but you definitely have to study for the tests and do the weekly homework assignments to do good. She is always there to answer questions and help you out which is why she is so awesome.

I really enjoyed being in this prof's class. She is super nice and cares about her students. She gives many opportunities for extra credit. Getting an A is easy in this class. The only reason I didn't was because I didn't do all of the assignments.

I LOVE Ellen. She gives the max extra credit that the department will allow. Anatomy lab exams are hard because they are departmental and don't change with the profs. She helps you out with the lecture exams, just do the OBJECTIVES!! Homeworks are long but you literally will barely have to study if you complete them attentively.

she was incredibly nice and her personality made the class much more bearable. Her in-class lectures aren't very helpful. I knew a lot of the content beforehand and her lectures were still very confusing. You have to spend a lot of time on the resources she gives you to really understand the content

Her motto is that she is going to give you enough work that you are forced to learn it. And her methodology worked out for me because the homework and connect assignments helped me study for exams. Yes, it is a lot of homework but if you time manage and start early you will be okay.

I highly recommend this professor. She's super sweet and caring. She knows what she's doing, she easily answers any question you have. She gives lots of tests and quizzes because she actually wants you to learn the material. She gives helpful study plans, pre-records every lecture, and the quizzes have multiple attempts. Best professor ever!

Took this as a 5 week summer class and she was honestly not as bad as people were saying. Yes her lectures are boring but she does know her stuff. I ended up with a 88 but she has bones exams that can earn you up to 5 points to your overall grade bringing my graded to a 92. The test are awful so study a couple days in advance.

Although it is a lot of work. She knows what she's talking about. Her key point is repetition. That is what will get the information to stick. It does take a lot of time for a class like this you just have to be willing to put in the work. I feel like the exams were average. She does have study guides to follow

Anatomy and Physiology is very dense, even so Ellen was very enthusiastic and kind. She often gave us helpful ways to remember key facts and offered lots of resources. She drops some grades and offers bonus. Go to class. There was a LOT of homework, but if you do the homework it adds to your repetition of the material. I would take Ellen again.

Anatomy physiology is HARD! But Ellen does her best to teach it in a way U understand. Repetition is key as she says, & her tutoring helps reinforce the material. All that homework might feel overwhelming, but it's designed to make sure you really learn it. If you put in the effort, you'll do great. If you don't like studying then you're gonna fail

Her class is hard because of the sheer amount of work, but she really wants her students to succeed and does all she can to get you there. I took her for A&P 1 & 2 and made an A in 1 and a high B in 2. . As long as you are willing to ask, she does her best to help! The work is meant to help you do well! Take her if you can.

Professor Ott-Reeves is AWESOME!! Anatomy is hard but she is very knowledgeable and wants to help. Read the book, do the assignments, and understand the underlying concepts instead of just knowing the basics for the exam
